MEMPHIS — The Nov. 28 game between Memphis and Navy is set to kickoff at 6 p.m. CT from Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Television network information for the game will be released Tuesday.
The American Athletic Conference matchup was originally scheduled for Nov. 14 but was postponed due to COVID-19 cases within the Navy program. As a result, Memphis had the final three games of its conference schedule reshuffled last week. The Tigers will play at Tulane on Dec. 5 and host Houston on Dec. 12 in their regular-season finale.Memphis (5-2, 3-2 AAC) will face Navy (3-4, 3-2) for the sixth time in program history. The Tigers defeated the Midshipmen 35-23 at the Liberty Bowl in the Tigers' first AAC game of their 2019 conference championship season. Navy holds a 3-2 advantage in the series, and the Midshipmen are 2-0 at home against the Tigers.
"We are excited to be able to add a great opponent like the Naval Academy back on our schedule," said Memphis head coach Ryan Silverfield. "We can't wait to get back up there to Annapolis. Obviously, with all the changes in college football this year, we appreciate the conference working with us to be able to play the rest of our schedule. We will finish up our regular-season schedule the right way and see where the chips may fall."
The Midshipmen have not played since Oct. 31 at SMU. They have had three consecutive AAC games postponed since.
